Don't even know where to start, first and foremost the service is terrible (1/5) and food was not bad for it's price. Hence a 2/5 stars plus the food came pretty fast.
I am a chinese canadian who grew up eating at similar restaurants with a loud and fast-paced atmosphere. That being said, I am used to very blunt customer service but king's noodle took it to another level. It may the one specific worker but here's my experience:
1.) Waitress was especially impatient due to high volume of customers which is forgivable
2.) She refused to listen out our order because we had questions about the price between an individual bowl vs big bowl leaving us with unclear prices (contradicting herself)
3.) When she had witness us asking a gentleman whom clearly look like he held a higher position she quickly came back to us after with a NEW attitude apologizing that she had giving us incorrect prices ($1 more for the big bowl and $.25 for individual bowls).... offered us complimentary soup as well.. I wonder why the sudden change of attitude.. hmm hmm
4.) At the end when our bill came, she did not inform us tax AND TIP (more than 10%) is included. (totally unheard of in my 26 years of eating at chinatown). If we hadn't checked the bill, she probably would not have told us tip is included.
5. and CASH ONLY for such a big/busy restaurant, they are totally unapologetic and rude about it. Plus we all know where that money is going..
Again, maybe it was just this one waitress but if someone can confirm that TIP being included is a normal practice there.
We all know TIP being included isn't exactly a abnormal practice but restaurants do inform their customer BEFOREHAND for a party 8 or more usually. In this case, we were not informed at all.
Also I think this place is more of a $$ and not $. Most of their main dishes are $15-20 with the exceptions of congee and rice dishes which is slightly more expensive any other chinese restaurants in chinatown.
